1UP Does Katamari

What do you do when you have a wonderfully original and unique game, in an era of cookie cutter clones? Why, beat the concept to death and do a sequel, thus killing the unique idea, by making it no longer unique. Okay, so perhaps I need to stop having three heaping spoonfuls of cynicism on my cornflakes every morning.

Katamari Damacy is the most original game since... That's where you have to stop and think. What was the last truly unique concept in gaming? Dune II? Tetris? Regardless, it's been a while, and despite my overwhelming cynicism above,
the fact is I can't wait to get my mitts on the Katamari sequel. The weakest area of the original, I feel, was its multiplayer. Fun, but it could have been so much more. In the sequel, it will be.

Can't wait! It'll be a break from getting my head kicked on Tekken 5.
